This soup is my go-to comfort food (even in summer!). In my search for the perfect lentil soup, I combined the best sounding parts of a couple promising recipes I found online, and the resultant recipe continued to evolve a bit further over time. The cinnamon was actually a result of some accidental evolution; I thought I had grabbed the cumin, but after dumping it into the pot, I realized I grabbed the wrong bottle. I was able to scoop most of it out, but realized the trace of cinnamon that was left in the final product really brought the whole thing together in an unexpected, but delicious, way.
